Superb Day Trip from Beijing - We went on this day trip tour. Our guide Peter was prompt in picking us up from the hotel. His service was impeccable and he was polite, patient and very communicative. The tour is highly recommended especially for the Simatai great wall climb.

Good day trip and guide - Great day trip from Beijing to cover the Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town, and the driver Peter Wu was very helpful and accommodating. One thing to note (which wasn't clear at the time I booked) is that entry fees aren't included in the price, so budget an additional CNY 300 per person

Day Trip to Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town - Truly magnificient, although challenging climbing up the rugged terrain of Simatai Great Wall. Also, enjoy walking the scenic Gubei Water Town. Highly recommend to stay a night to see the light up of the Great Wall and Gubei Water Town. Peter Wu, the driver, provided 5 stars services. He picks us from our hotel on time, helped us to purchase the entrance and cable car tickets, shared some insight of the Great Wall, and had waited patiently for us to complete our free and easy tour with no rush. Peter also recommended us a lunch place inside the Gubei Water Town to taste the local fresh water fish, which is super. Shout out to Peter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great trip - We did the Simatai - Gubei Water town trip with our driver Lily. She was right on time at the hotel and throughout the trip she was kind and enthusiastic, dropped us of right in front of the gate. Good service, would definately contact Leo’s again for future trips.

Outstanding Tour & Great Service from everyone - We have been to 3 other sections of the Great Wall and we highly recommend this trip for families & couples because your access to the wall is right from the water town. The water town is very quaint & beautiful itself, with 5 star lodging, restaurants, shopping and activities. The amenities provided in the town, makes the trip to see the wall a lot easier for families with kids, couples wanting a romantic trip, or older people needing a bit more comfort. This section of the wall is very picturesque, views of the wall go on & on, walking is very steep and doable for folks who are fit, otherwise take the cable car and take water with you. Leo’s Tour was great, the staff is very responsive, accommodating to your special requests and very informative. Mr. Ma was our tour guide and driver. He was excellent- try to book him if you can. He is a safe driver, provided us with water, was very informative, handled everything for us and made sure we had a great trip. He also takes great pictures, which he shared with us to make it more memorable. We will go back again and. Book again with Leo’s your and request Mr Ma as our guide.

Great tour company - We used Leo’s tour for two days. The first day was Simatai Great Wall with English driver. The second day was Forbidden city and Summer palace with tour guide. Both the driver and tour guide are very professional and friendly. They tried their best to accommodate our needs. We’re really enjoyed both days. Highly recommend.

Best Decision I made for my Trip - I was traveling solo through Beijing, and I wanted to have an ability to visit the Great Wall on my own time. My driver/tour guide was Jason, and he was promptly awaiting to pick me up from my hotel, and drove me very comfortably to the Gubei Water Town. He took the time to walk me to the admission counter to help with purchasing my tickets, and even took some time to show me the map and make a recommendation for how to best spend my time. I really appreciated the tips he shared, and how easy he made my day trip to Gubei Water Town. The wall was breathtaking, and a great location to choose if you want minimal crowds. I recommend going early in the morning to avoid the afternoon rush. I highly recommend Leo’s Tour Guide and Driver Service. Jason was an amazing host.

Great Wall & Watertown - We were very happy with the organization of the tour company and Jason, our english-speaking driver, who helped us wherever he could. However, during Chinese holidays the water town and the Great Wall will probably be very crowded.

Gubei Watertown and Simatai Great Wall tour from Beijing - When I contacted the company to inquire about a private tour, they were very prompt in replying. They picked us up at our hotel on time as promised, and gave an overview of the history of the wall and Gubei Water town. Our driver was Jason and he was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke English well, and helped us communicate in getting the admission tickets we needed to enter the town and for the Great Wall visit. He was also very flexible with our schedule and what we wanted to do that day. Gubei Watertown is a quaint area, although not a 'real town', it was recreated beautifully and is gorgeous lit up at night. I would recommend this company for anyone who wants a personal driver to Gubei Watertown and Simatai Great Wall.

Great town at the base of the wall. - The tour guide will drive you from the town and help you buy your tickets 1) to the town 2) a one-way bus trip to the wall (you walk back through the town) and 3) to the chairlift. It was around 600 Yuan for myself and senior father for those three things. Attended on a weekend before the spring festival and the town was sleepy which meant no crowds and lots of chances to take photos with amazing backdrops. On the flip side, most stores/restaurants were not open before 2pm. From what I gathered, this place 'comes alive' in the evening. As for the wall itself, the chairlift brings you up mostly to the top. You still have 15-20 mins of a steep stairs climb to the wall and then the time you spend on the wall itself will depend on the time you want to dedicate there vs. the town, your legs, and your fear of wind/heights. The stairs are uneven and will take some agility to get from one tower to the next, especially the ones with a ladder.
